Last week's speaker:
From Rotarian Jennifer Giovinazzo's Facebook (FB) post on our club's FB page: 
39 years of service to Rotary and Eric Johnsrud just keeps on giving. He was here speaking on behalf of the NorthStar Youth Exchange for Districts 5950 and 5960. Founded in 1967 and over 1000's++ of students from many different countries have benefited from this program.
NorthStar Youth Exchange is looking for Host Families, Sponsors and more. You do not have to have school age children to be a Host Family-these exchange students will love the undivided attention they will receive from you!
Here is their website for more information. Thank you Eric for your years of service and for joining us on Wednesday.

Something new to meetings
